Who Told You That? Jesus Is a God-Man

Listen Later

Science Assumes Intelligent Design cannot be challenged.  Christianity has assumed that Jesus is God and the debate is over.

  1. The Gospel the Apostles Preached
      • After forty days of instruction, the apostles proclaimed:
            • God sent, raised, and exalted Jesus. (Acts 2:22–36; 3:13; 5:30–31)
                • Their gospel: what God did through a man, not what God became in a man.

                  • Acts 10:38 – “God anointed Jesus of Nazareth… for God was with Him.”

                  1. John’s Message about the Word
                      • “The Word became flesh” reveals God’s wisdom and power embodied in Jesus.
                          • “My flesh… for the life of the world” shows flesh as God’s provision, not incarnation. (John 1:14; 6:51)

                            • Proverbs 8:22–30 – Wisdom beside God from the beginning.

                            1. The True Accusation
                                • Jesus was condemned for claiming to be the Messiah, not God Himself.

                                  • Mark 14:61–64; Matthew 26:63–65; Luke 23:2–3

                                    • The inscription read: “King of the Jews,” not “God of the Jews.” (John 19:19–22)
                                      1. The Law of Agency
                                          • In Jewish thought: “A man’s agent is as himself.”
                                              • Jesus spoke and acted fully in God’s Name. (Exodus 23:21; John 5:43; 14:10; 17:11)

                                                • Conclusion

                                                • God didn’t become man to save us—He sent a man, His Son, to reveal and redeem.

                                                  • 1 Timothy 2:5; Romans 5:19; Acts 2:36
